Family of the Year

The Orientation and Transition Services Office started the Family of the Year essay contest in 2005 and has been its sponsor ever since. A winner is announced at halftime of the Homecoming game, alongside the Mr. and Ms. UTSA contest announcement.

The essay honors the writer's family or another family which has supported him or her in his or her time at UTSA and has shown considerable school spirit for UTSA. The winning student/family combo receives several prizes including an L & M Bookstore certificate, a commemorative plaque from the UTSA Parent Council, UTSA merchandise, and having their essay featured in the university's family calendar.[1]
